Meet Dr. Darcy Seaton San Antonio Optometrist

After practicing for 10 years in Houston, Dr. Seaton is happy to be back closer to family in San Antonio at Parkhurst NuVision. Dr. Seaton has been very involved in training students, residents, and doctors on the management of cataract surgery patients since completing her residency. Her experience, where she was working in a practice that primarily saw patients that needed a second opinion or a surgical consultation, has made her one of the best teachers at Parkhurst NuVision.

Dr. Seaton is one of the most experienced doctors on our team and loves to help cataract patients pick the solution that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

The Evolution of the Cataract Evaluation

When I first started doing cataract evaluations the lenses that we had were great. However, if someone had astigmatism and also wanted to see at distance and up close, we really didn’t have a great option for them. That all changed once we a laser got approved for cataract surgery. Now we have the ability to correct astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery and the lenses we use for cataract surgery got even better.

Now with laser approved and trifocal lenses approved, we have the ability to correct astigmatism and have a patient wake up and see at distance, intermediate, and up close. We even have the Light Adjustable Lens for patients, which allows patients to customize their vision after their cataract surgery. The technology we were waiting for over ten years ago is here. I recommend a thorough eye consultation so you can figure out which solution would be best for you.

"Take just a minute and imagine being able to avoid cataracts completely- being able to work as long as you’d like and be able to travel and see everything be at its best quality for the rest of your life. No waiting for a cataract to be ready to remove! I had the RLE Lens replacement done and that’s where I am. I have many many years of excellent sight ahead of me - the best investment ever. Just ask and see what possible - they have financing too so maybe just maybe you don’t have to wait. Just talk to the Parkhurst team and see the possibilities."

"I had my Lasik procedure done with Parkhurst Nuvision and it was a great experience. The whole process was very easy. They answered any questions I had and walked me through step by step. The actual procedure took less than 10 minutes and was not painful. I woke up with perfect vision and could do any activities needed the very next day. It is an experience I would recommend to anyone. Thank you!"
